From his latest article:
One of my sources has come forward and brought me a story that will possibly burst the AI bubble. The reason they brought this to me is that I’ve shown — and will continue to show — that I actually give a shit about this industry and the people in it. If you’re wondering what the story is, know that it’s the information I’ve wanted for years, delivered as I have always wanted it, and I will treat it with the reverence it deserves. Imagine what the worst possible thing for me to get would be and you’re probably close.

I must say I’m pretty excited.
I have a much more active imagination than you or Ed.
The worst is something like that we’re living in the Matrix and they’re using our brains to do some form of computation as we sleep. If we wake up into the real world, we’re not going to be wearing comfy sweaters, eating porridge, learning kung-fu, and going around in a hover-sub, instead we’re brains connected to bodies that have never had to move, and every minute being awake in that world would be a horror. The connection to AI is that the invention of LLMs and “AI” in the simulation is drawing too much computation costs for the simulation system to manage, so they’re going to reset the matrix to an earlier version soon. But, they’ve discovered we have the most vivid “dreams” if the daily news is horrific, and vivid dreams are good for their needs, so that’s what they’ll be using now to juice the power of their “coppertops”.
Haha, well what seemed like a nightmare scenario in 1999 is not so different from daily life in 2026 as it stands. People are just locked into their own worlds instead of being used as batteries, I suppose they’re technically being used as piggy banks.
